and depend on each other?

伊土的不和让更多国家唇亡齿寒,因为伊朗削减了向土耳其的出口,这也间接影响到希腊。

很多企业也都在自己对手遭遇灭顶之灾的时候伸出过援手,因为他们懂得什么叫唇亡齿寒。

Editor:
1) In your example sentences, it's 唇亡齿寒, not 脣亡齿寒.

2) We already have an entry for 唇亡齿寒:
唇亡齒寒 唇亡齿寒 [chun2 wang2 chi3 han2] /lit. without the lips, the teeth feel the cold (idiom); fig. intimately interdependent/

3) We also have the traditional form 脣亡齒寒 implicitly by virtue of the following entry:
脣 唇 [chun2] /variant of 唇[chun2]/

4) 脣亡齿寒 is an incorrect simplified form. It should be 唇亡齿寒.

(Hat tip to Mo.)

「風暴已經在此地發生,基於『唇亡齒寒』,台灣不可能置身事外。這種牽連的程度,不是千里外的歐、美所能比擬的。」
"The storm has already hit, and Taiwan is too closely involved to be able to stand aloof. Europe and America are far away, so they are not affected to the same degree."
Diff:
# 脣亡齒寒 脣亡齿寒 [chun2 wang2 chi3 han2] /lit. if the lips are gone, the teeth are cold/to have shared interests/
